YOU WOOD THINK?
Bobby D and Mikey D are 2 Canadians who have been friends for longer than most people are alive and they have teamed up to give their perspective on the world through their lens. We are both licensed professionals in our fields of study and are willing to discuss the hot topics.
YOU WOOD THINK?
Squirrels With Six Shooters And Other Policy Debates
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
One minute we’re laughing at a wild “open the Strait of Hormuz” post, and the next we’re doing the math on why that kind of talk can show up in your life as higher gas prices. We start with the way politics has drifted into late-night posting and viral one-liners, then zoom out to the real-world stakes of energy supply, oil markets, and why “it’ll calm down soon” doesn’t automatically mean cheaper fuel.
From there we pivot into Canada’s gun buyback program and the uncomfortable logistics nobody wants to say out loud: if only a small slice of firearms are returned, who enforces the rest, and how does that work when staffing is already short? We keep it grounded and practical, including the difference between hunting culture and the question of high-capacity, semi-automatic style rifles in everyday civilian life.
Then it’s NBA mode. We break down the Lakers injury situation, what hamstring and oblique timelines really mean in the final stretch, and why teams gamble with star minutes even when it looks pointless from the couch. We get into MVP debate, voter fatigue, Jokic’s case, and how media narratives shape awards as much as box scores.
We close with the business side of fighting: Ronda Rousey criticizing the UFC, the shift away from pay-per-view incentives, and how streaming platforms like Paramount or Netflix can change fighter pay overnight. If you like sharp sports takes, current events, and the economics behind the noise, hit play, subscribe, and share the show with a friend, then leave us a review and tell us what topic we should hit next.

Trump’s Strait Of Hormuz Post
SPEAKER_01D.
SPEAKER_00All right so a lot going on where do we start okay let's start with this crazy bastard yeah that's when you read me the quote I just can't stop laughing yeah we shouldn't be laughing but he's the crazy bastard it's the what are we laughing at what we're laughing at what uh what uh uncle Donnie wrote about uh on his what is it called truth truth yeah social truth whatever it is yeah truth social yeah he wrote that open open the straight of her moose you crazy bastards open the fucking straight of her right now you crazy fucking backs or all hell will or hell will be unleashed and then he signs it praise Allah praise be Allah who who said yeah looks good Mr.
SPEAKER_01Presentation send that one like is anybody looking over the shoulder this guy no like somebody like you know Biden wasn't right well he just looked when he's firing them off at like two in the morning it's it's him God he can't the 80 year old man woke up to take a leak because he can't sleep his prostate's a side of a gorgeous that's right grape and so then he's like sitting on the toilet thinking you know what'd be funny maybe yeah the worst part is like we said he doesn't drink so we can't say ah it's a drunken tweet you know we've all been there how many fucking different meds is the band on right now to keep keep him keep him sharp I remember he beat Kobe right so I mean Biden was a I mean Biden was getting pretty senile at the end. I think Trump's on his way there too well something's going oh oh I I just said that I can never be I'm not allowed back at the US for the I did we have to cut that so Mike's allowed in the U.S.
SPEAKER_00gotta get out of North Carolina visit his uh country bumpkin uh family just yeah get down and see some NBA games right now right now the only place we can go is the Toronto yeah and uh we don't Toronto's not even playing that good anymore man Toronto's still Toronto's still Toronto they're still like what a a middle of the pack to a lot of high school teams yeah yeah or yeah college team yeah yeah all right so uh here's the other one I thought was interesting so oh wait I gotta say it right though the Canadian Minister of Public Safety they had a gun buyback 2% of the guns they were looking for showed back up right which means 99 98% it's math do your math 98% didn't show up so what the guy says on live TV he's like well we're going to have to send people door to door now if you don't know right now the RCP is down 3400 people that's how many people that they need to recruit quickly to get their numbers back up. So my question to this ding dong is who's gonna go do this job and go collect the guns then he goes like this oh well we'll get local police to help don't you think they're doing a job already like are you just gonna stunt and then he goes well they can do it on the weekends and their off time this guy said it was fucking right because that's what everybody's gonna do on their they want to do that on their off time and on their weekends. This is in the US where you go pay guys for seven weeks and become an ICE agent go round up the guns like get the fuck
Canada Gun Buyback Meets Reality
SPEAKER_00out of here.
SPEAKER_01Yeah this you know anyway yeah good job they would yeah I'm assuming the intent of that whole buyback program was to go after the semi-automatic they've banned these 2500 different all these different right rifle guns that can be modified to become that are or can be modified to become automatic or semi-automatic the only way you can own one is if you're part of a gun club and again I'm not a gun person so somebody else that knows more about guns can speak to this but I don't understand the need to have something that fires off if you're a hunter why do you need a why do you need a rifle that's going to shoot off that many that many rounds and squirrels are packing heat baby. Squirrels are packing heat six shooters full of you know again I'm not a gun person but I have no problem with with guns. I have lots of friends that hunt none of that stuff bothers me at all I just just asking the question.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Yeah I mean you know I look at it I guess safety you know but now in Canada I think if you shoot somebody you go to jail. Just some odd loss just came in.
SPEAKER_01Anyway I don't know didn't Doug Ford get a lot of shit for saying somebody breaks into your house like good on the guy for shooting them. Yeah and he's getting he's getting a lot of shit because you can't do it.
SPEAKER_00Unless you live in Florida and if anybody like shows up on your lawn you can just shoot him and it's fine.
unknownGreat.
SPEAKER_01That couple do you remember that years ago that couple that was I think I was doing during all the the Black Lives Matters protests and stuff like that. But anyway uh there's that one couple that American couple that were sitting on their front lawn both holding their like semi-automatics. And they got into a lot of shit because I think they were pointing their guns at people and stuff. Oh jeez. Yeah and they got pardoned I think you know Donald pardoned them but um I I can't remember that I'd have to go back and look at the story. I just remember I just remember that the picture is the one I remember and they're sitting out there in front of their white house and they both holding their semi-automatics like middle aged uh you know or elderly didn't Marjorie Taylor Green have her Christmas card with like her and all her kids holding rifles.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Anna Ray loves she can something like that I don't know yeah she's uh yeah just saying um I did see this though thank goodness for this Pope wasn't too busy putting out fires over Easter by the way I think that is that tweet that Trump sent was on Easter Day too. There's no like happy Easter like so oh yeah so tie it into the the the Pope's message here the Pope prayed for peace for obviously because of the of the small crisis in Iran and Ukraine and Russia and uh to all our Christian friends happy Easter for those who celebrate hope you got some uh good I still don't think the US is calling it a war they're calling it a small excursion or a juror I guess I don't did the textbooks say it's a small crisis in the Ukraine. All right well whatever we can see what we're gonna do the Pope what it is the Pope kind of prayed for peace.
Pope’s Peace Message And Oil Panic
SPEAKER_01Prayed for peace. Yeah Pope Leo and and Trump's response was to say open the fucking street now you crazy bastards.
SPEAKER_00I'm sure the Pope's reality I again we shouldn't laugh but it's just like that's it just blows my mind well remember he said Rocket Man I'm like he said what? Yeah like the man's a bananas the Rocket Man's bananas too that's my point for the whole thing right yeah yeah um so I had some numbers for you uh which I thought was interesting so people might not know this for every day that the Strait of Hermuz is shut down it's 12 million barrels of oil that are not getting through uh February 27th oil was $71 a barrel five weeks later it's $109 says it could go up to $150.
SPEAKER_01Yep. Crazy man and that's what I was saying to you earlier that's $187 excuse me. It went from 130 for the first $137 to $187 in the last three weeks or whatever crazy man. Five weeks I guess but anyway it's not uh once these crazy bastards open up the street it's uh still not gonna be cheap gas it's not no it's not gonna that you know how long it's gonna take to catch back up like we are now like uh supply is uh you know is way behind demand right now right so now everybody's bad mouth and Uncle Donnie but he did do one thing got the pilot out yeah yeah something that the other four presidents couldn't do couldn't get anybody out remember did even Biden left all those people over there when they uh busted it early so good on him well that uh first time I I I'd love to know I'd have to go back and look it's the first time in you know well over 15 20 years I think since a uh military plane the US military plane and maybe even maybe even much longer than that that uh was shot down that a military plane's been shot down yeah well did it did it shoot down or did he hit like a tree? I'm pretty sure it got shot down.
SPEAKER_00You never know right like nowadays I don't know yeah you know I was watching this uh uh show that has like the cryptids and stuff that's it came into my feed I'm like okay don't know this lady out of nowhere what is it uh it's like a YouTube channel and it shows like cryptids like ghosts and different things and people are like it looks like a ghost I'm like yeah it's a smudge on other lines anyway so the whole thing was that she wouldn't say AI she goes you know looks to me like it's that a word that made this one
Lakers Injuries And MVP Arguments
SPEAKER_00like I'm like that a word what I'm like a word arsehole because you're an arsehole for not saying AI yeah like I don't know who you are but you know what what a must it's the a word again like is that a thing no hey no come here bud he's like I'm going right over you old man right up to the top yeah so I thought that was interesting but good on uh uncle Donnie for getting that pilot old man yeah you know we don't want anybody over there but uh yeah we don't even know if the one of the Israeli drones probably hit it by accident yeah some kid playing around who knows but yeah yeah it's a lot of money in one of those planes well the plane's just completely destroyed when they got the pilot out right yeah all right basketball hmm well if you're a Lakers fan you're crying in your porridge right now yeah fifty some points a game is gone they're done man Luca and Reese both out now uh what the I could write it down Luca has a grade two education hamstring yeah that too is a he has a grade two hamstring strain here's the thing with that it's anywhere from two to twelve weeks yeah depending on who you are now we were laughing about it we're saying well they've listed him as out indefinitely so they don't even have they don't even have two it's bad it's not good you know it's it's it's a bad strand it's like grade two and three right so uh for him he went to Europe to see Dr. Feel good over there and see if he can expedite his uh he tried again see if he can expedite his healing process so I was saying to Mike I go oh the good old steroiders over there some fancy peptides or something you know Kobe did something back in the day you know when he was had his Achilles then he was doing all kinds of crazy stem cell wasn't it yeah and hyperbaric chambers and stem cells the way to go it cures everything right that's what we talked about last week Jason Tatum said the same thing look at these guys they're coming back and they're not just coming back fast they're coming back and but hang on I still have to say oh Jason oh look he came back in 200 whatever days Kobe came back in last time so shut up uh Reeves is also out with a Kobe wins that competition too that's right if Michael Jordan he would have come back even quicker that's right he would have played with it yeah oh I got something to say about Mike in a minute uh uh uh Reeves yeah oblique strain bad news also three to four weeks yeah he's out but I mean you know for the rest of the season he's missing there's only one week left people it's over I think they've said Reeves is gonna miss shut him down pretty much the first round of the playoffs and if Luke is out the first round of the playoffs Lakers are not oh you're screwed there's no choice they were in third they had a nice like they were shouldn't say they didn't have a comfortable league because I think uh oh Denver's right there again actually no no no Denver has the same record but they have the they have the time okay so when I when I looked the other day because that's right Denver because Denver won Lakers lost and now they got the same record yeah yeah they lost them at Dallas doesn't matter yeah flag went out and put up another well they're they're okay well you know we'll go on that one now so flag 50 youngest was a teenager to do it yeah right and he put up 45 last night or whatever it was 47 whatever it was you know if you really look at it Stephen A.
SPEAKER_01Smith it's a LeBron let him right but it depends on the day with Stephen A. Smith one day he loves LeBron the next day he hates him yeah well it depends you know Sloan. Yeah so yeah he hates him he hates him when you know when Stephen A starts getting negative press because he goes after that's true too I saw the Skip Bayless thing the other day was fake AI with Skip Bayless like you know what you got me I'm in I'm a LeBron guy and it's like April fools motherfuckers well I did notice like oh that's we uh I think that that stretch where LeBron went like where he missed one shot and out of like you know however many you know he was like 13 for 14 the one game skip came home and goes yeah but all he did was dunk. He's 41 years old who cares if all he did was dunk nobody else is doing it you stupid mother the other game he just had the other day too I I I watched the game I think he had at least five dunks at least Skip is just uh he's just somebody that's and I'll I'll agree with this take he is somebody that has uh no idea written the coattails of of LeBron like he's his whole career has been just shitting on LeBron because he knows it keeps him at the front of the conversation right because everybody's like did you see what Skip said we we do it you see what Skip said he says he just says shit right white guys shouldn't be able to talk like that mike should be illegal so do you think you're talking about the injuries in these guys do you think that uh you know part of the reason why is you know would Luca been like you know what my hamstring's really bothering me but he also in the back of his mind also knows if I miss one more game I'm not eligible for the MVP this year. So do you think that that's pushing them to be like I'm just gonna go play through I got to go play through because I've got to play however many minutes in a game in order to still qualify for but even he said and Reeves both said to say the the more he scores the lower he goes in the MVPs said that they don't care they don't like him.
SPEAKER_00No they don't like him. I mean you know it is what it is uh I don't know why they don't like him but uh you know yeah he can't make up 30 like I said the 33 what is he 33 points in the league and scoring yeah and then Reeves has 27 so that's a lot of points LeBron can't make up 70 bro no he can't you know and that bench ain't good so what are you gonna do right hey LeBron had 15 assists last night yeah but keep your eyes open because the ball is coming to you um I saw uh a video I don't know who the white guy was but the white guy was telling a story about Michael Jordan I thought this was interesting he goes so me and Mike are all playing golf we played at 18 18 holes and he says uh Mike's down like three grand and he goes all right and he says you know I'll catch you and I go no no no no he goes we're going out again he goes what he goes yeah so we played another 18 he goes we walked by the way we didn't take a car we walked and he goes so we finished 36 holes I took another couple grand from Mike he says we're about 10 beers in Mike get a play tonight and he goes he goes well I'm gonna take all that money that I want off you mike he goes I'm gonna bet against you tonight and Mike goes I'll tell you what he says uh I'll bet you all that money he says I score 40 and we win by 20.
SPEAKER_01The guy goes you're on he goes of course Mike scored 41 on the one by 22 and he goes the man's not even human yeah he goes he can't believe he did that he goes well there you go yeah I'd have to see that because I know one thing like I love he Mike always said he never betted on he never bet on basketball he said he only ever like he he said yeah I gamble I I like gambling he goes and again like somebody you know like this was uh you know when they talk about that stupid theory that he got you know he let he got sustained to go away because it's gambling because of the gambling was like such a big deal or whatever um you know the best way to look at it and I think somebody said it it's like you know Mike Michael Jordan losing ten thousand dollars or twenty thousand dollars you know gambling you know in Atlantic City or whatever for a night is like you and I losing twenty dollars ten dollars right exactly yeah so it's like for him it's nothing right he's not out there I think when they asked him I remember when they asked him do you have a gambling problem he goes no I don't have a gambling problem do I like gambling yes and I do gamble yes but do I have a problem no he goes I'm not going hungry I'm not my house and you know my cars and all that stuff's not being like you know they're not coming after me for that he goes and I think the big thing was um all that when all that stuff happened he owed like one point some million I think oh did he I think it was like a big number still was yeah it's still a big number but you know he's still the number one uh what is that 20 minutes in a game for him near the end of his career like he's worth like four and a half billion dollars yeah he's worth something ridiculous but yeah him and Tiger are still like listed as the top paid athletes right yeah they're up there I saw their endorsements or whatever right oh yeah 100% and now he's winning at uh was it NASCAR NASCAR yeah yeah not winning one yeah and I just saw uh quite two races in a row they won't yeah stone cold Steve Austin just won one of his crazy races that he's in NASCAR it's like it's like an off-road thing sure yeah yeah yeah why not yeah yeah Jordan says yeah I've replaced basketball with NASCAR yeah I just saw another reporter ask him a question so he says uh if he could still play wood he goes oh yeah he goes to miss it every day yeah every day interesting oh hey big fella um very interesting to me the uh hall of fame just uh inductees Doc Rivers Candace Parker Mary Stodemeyer or sorry Amari Stodemeyer and uh the 1996 women's celebrity so Candace Parker 100 yeah no no doubt about that doc rivers for as a player I didn't see which one I'm assuming it's a coach wouldn't it be I would assume so because I don't know if he had so like I look at that and go Stodmeyer was a good player is is Stodemeyer a Hall of Famer though like no definitely not anyway it's um it's kind of frustrating because Hall of Fame seems like they're just you know you have a good two or three years in the league and then a decent like few other league years and all of a sudden you're a Hall of Famer? Come on man yeah I don't know yeah I I don't I you know nothing against Stotemeyer guy was a great player uh yeah he's a good player but you know I don't know I don't think he's a Hall of Famer and in my mind he's not a Hall of Famer come at us folks if you if you think otherwise I'm sure there's some Stodemeyer fans out there that that think he is but uh yeah both you can go fuck yourself he's he's not I don't think he is yeah um the if we were just saying off camera like the Lakers and OKC a litmus test oops the OKC smoked them it wasn't even close. So that's the same game that Luca and Reeves both got injured Reeves both got injured both got injured they were like but they were losing again so that's the point. Like they're losing by that many why is Luca still playing anyway if his hamstring's bugging him because normally a hamstring injury just doesn't come out of nowhere you normally he's like I'll do I'll do one better.
SPEAKER_00It's feeling tight man something's feeling off right what about all these games where they're winning why isn't he sitting out in the fourth quarter yeah like sit the fuck why is he still playing sit down not only that why is LeBron still playing sit the old man down too yeah like you don't need him out there like what are you trying to prove there's no points to be gotten like well it's like we just said like it's like we said yeah they lose there's no making up Luca and and and read he can't make up 50 points but uh you know that Lakers team is not like it's not built to like sustain to to to weather this no team is no team could lose two of their best players not only that the number one scorer in the league and then keep winning yeah no and then uh no but anyway like it's it's they're so bad that JJ's probably like well I can't take them out yet because even though we're up 20 goes I could turn around in five minutes and we could be down 10. Dude I was I was I was watching that game against Dallas. I was waiting for JJ to put a jersey on yeah it's like when you got four white guys on the floor at once you're in trouble.
SPEAKER_01Yeah man those guys can play man they can they can shoot let's go with that's a different story last night they could none of them could hit uh La Ravia Ayton and Canard I think all like I think they they turned around near the end of the game it looked like they shot better but at the beginning of the game like I think I told you I looked and we were Dallas LeBron was like nine for 12 Richie was like six for seven and then you know those three guys that I just mentioned were like one for sixteen or one for eighteen something I was like how you know come on man and I actually thought going in Dallas had 14 wins. I said I think they can beat Dallas even with the team they have they can beat Dallas they didn't beat Dallas. So like that's pretty bad man. Yeah that's that just shows you the Lakers are done. Because even when Luca and and Austin come back like this is going to be you know two three weeks maybe more of them being out.
SPEAKER_00Like they're not gonna walk back on the course in game shape right they're gonna try to push to come back early and it's not gonna turn out well it's it's over.
SPEAKER_01It's over for what to get knocked out in the second round at best exactly uh okay so there's the thing Spurs in Denver I watched that game that's an awesome game with overtime Jokic put it on him but that Wimby's a problem he's a problem that Wemby is a problem but man like some of those that's just shows you like some of some of those shots that Joker was hitting against the no man like God he's good.
SPEAKER_00Oh he's stupid that's why I said he has to be the MVP.
SPEAKER_01He cannot not be the MVP they uh it's kind of one of those things like I said to you it's it's leading in assist leading in rebounds. It's not I guess it is boat or fatigue but I say you know these guys set a precedent for what they do year after year. LeBron was the same Jordan was the same they they set a precedent for what they do so it's just expected of them. So when they do it you're like oh yeah but that's just him. Well it doesn't mean he's not like the best player in the league still and maybe they will still say he's the best player in the league right of course they would he's the best
SPEAKER_00Of all time in the last decade. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I agree with you though. It's hard to see. Like Shay should not. Shea's done Shay's had another good year, but he's not, he hasn't done anything. He's not number one in any category. He hasn't done anything this year to like justify back-to-back MVPs. And I'm a Shay guy. I actually like Shay, but I don't think he should be back-to-back MVP.
SPEAKER_00No, he definitely shouldn't be, but he's probably going to win.
SPEAKER_01I think Joker should.
SPEAKER_00100% Joker.
SPEAKER_01It should be.
SPEAKER_00Number two should be Wemby.
SPEAKER_01And then Luca, yeah.
SPEAKER_00And then Luca's in there.
SPEAKER_01But Luca's getting they hate Luca. Well, Luca only does plays one side of the ball, right? So that's why they hate him. Yeah. You know, Jokic tries. Yeah, yeah, he does. And Wemby is just a, you know, Wemby is, you know, does it all on both sides of the floor, which is the difference, right?
SPEAKER_00And that guy wants to win bad. He wants to win. Wemby's year.
SPEAKER_01Wemby's time will come.
SPEAKER_00Oh, it's coming. Yeah.
Pride Week Blowback In The NBA
SPEAKER_00I'll tell you whose time is gone. Jay Nivey. From the Pulse. He came out and he said, we shouldn't be celebrating Pride Week. Now hang on. Jay Nivey's not a homophobic. He's a new Christian.
SPEAKER_01He can, yeah. Found new.
SPEAKER_00Found God. Found found Jebus. And uh usually when you find him, your everybody else is bad, you know, all of a sudden everybody's a sinner.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. And you think that everybody wants to hear this the shit you're about to spew about. That's right. You think everything is. Now I told you, like he could have, you know, with the Bulls, you know, should they have just like let him go right away like they did? Probably not. Um should he have actually had a better reaction to it? 100%.
SPEAKER_00Well, here's my problem. Like I told you, there's some hypocritical stuff going on in the NBA. Jason Collins, first openly gay player, came out and said, Hey, I'm gay. That's great. See ya. That's that's the end of his basketball career. Now you got uh what's his name again? Uh Ivy. And uh he said, hey, you shouldn't have gays, uh uh because uh uh the Bible says no, and then you get rid of him. So what? You got rid of both guys? Like which way? But well, like I said, pretty harsh thing.
SPEAKER_01They they said con conduct that conduct detrimental to the team.
SPEAKER_00Well, they said that about Chris Paul?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, well, that's just it. Again, you don't know the whole story. There's shit going on behind the scenes. There's more than just him saying what he said on like a live stream, and then like I said, his reaction when they let him go was to double down to go on there and and essentially say, if I don't play in the league again, so but you know, you're not gonna change my belief, you guys are all sinners. And it's like, oh god, man.
SPEAKER_00I'm gonna go to China, make some real money.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, okay, so he's a guy, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Anyway, yeah, I don't know. Like, good luck. But yeah, he doubled down. That's what happens with some of those dudes, though, right? So you know, is he a good player? I don't know.
SPEAKER_01He's not.
SPEAKER_00I mean, well, here's the other part. Okay, he was averaging like eight or nine points a game. Patrick Williams said, Well, if you're cutting him, I'm going with him. Patrick Williams is like eight or nine on the bench. I don't even know who Patrick Williams is. Exactly. So nobody else cares either, right? So off he goes.
SPEAKER_01You can go too then. See ya. See ya. It's not like the bulls are gonna, it's not like the bulls are going anywhere.
SPEAKER_00No, they're not, are they? No. So there was uh the thing I saw the stats of uh Matt McClung in the G League there. He
G League Limits And Playoff Picks
SPEAKER_00has like all the all the all the records. So he's like, he's too good for the G League, but he's not good enough for the NBA. What's in the middle? W NBA?
SPEAKER_01Well, I yeah. I don't know why.
SPEAKER_00I mean, he's uh I mean they tried him, it just doesn't work. He's too small.
SPEAKER_01But Bronny's the same. Bronny goes to the G League and he's like, he's he's gonna be a good one. Yeah, he plays well, really, plays really well in the G League, right? So the NBA is just a different beast, right?
SPEAKER_00It is, it is, but it's just so weird, right? Because boy, oh boy.
SPEAKER_01Anyway, so now I think Bronny in the minutes he had against OKC had an okay game.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, listen, he's he's alright, he's gonna he's gonna be just fine.
SPEAKER_01They keep saying he needs more minutes, right?
SPEAKER_00But who doesn't?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, exactly. That's it. Who doesn't, right? Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Uh so now, see the Lakers are just gonna drop right off. That's gonna be over. So right now, everybody who was gonna play them was like, this is gonna be great. We're gonna 4-0, you know, smoke.
SPEAKER_01Well, that's what we said. Like they had where they were sitting, they probably had their best case scenario was against Houston. We talked about that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, and then they wouldn't end up playing who?
SPEAKER_01San Antonio.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, and I don't think they can beat San Antonio because there's nothing they can do for you.
SPEAKER_01The only the only advantage they have over San Antonio is San Antonio's young.
SPEAKER_00They do, but I keep going back to when Rudy Gobert made them look like bitches. No, because there's nothing you could do. It's too big, right? Maybe makes everybody look stupid anyway.
SPEAKER_01And playoffs are a different beast. Defense wins in the playoffs, and Lakers are just not a good defensive team.
SPEAKER_00So not good, but you know, it's it's sorry. They were doing so well, and then boom. So my my team now, Charlotte. Charlotte's still playing well. I think Alonzo got some more tattoos.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00I don't know if there's any room left.
SPEAKER_01Uh, like I said, it's uh it's either I still think it's either San Antonio or OKC coming out of the West. As good as Denver's playing, like there's they're right there with the Lakers, right? Like another 50-win season for them. Yeah. Uh, I just don't know if they've got enough to win a seven-game series. They're don't don't count them out, but I don't know if they have enough. Houston doesn't. Golden State, I mean, it's gonna be a play-in team. I saw they they brought Houston down to the they lost by one point to Houston last night. Curry came back and scored like 29 points or something.
SPEAKER_00Like, yeah, but he cost them the game at the end. Did he? No, I didn't see how it was. He's fucking right, he did. Not the first time he's done that either. They only need two points to win. And he shooted. He just shot a three, he shot a three fucking 12 feet from the fucking three. Like, what are you doing?
SPEAKER_01But that's but that's like I mean, that's him.
SPEAKER_00Fuck.
SPEAKER_01I know, but it was so stupid.
SPEAKER_00He could have he had a line, he had a line to the fucking basket.
SPEAKER_01Like, you only need two. Nah, they don't know what he goes for two anymore when they only need two. Oh, I know, right? Down by one, we only need a two-pointer. They're still jacking.
SPEAKER_00Wait, where were they playing?
SPEAKER_01Uh I think they were in Golden State.
SPEAKER_00Well, you always go for the tie. You go for the win if you're in the opponent's court.
SPEAKER_01Well, I mean, what was wrong with him anyway? Ankle, I think, again. I don't I don't know. I really don't know. Uh I I'm gonna be honest with you, I like I he went out and I thought he was only out for a couple games. He was actually out for quite a while.
SPEAKER_00So yeah, a real long time. Yeah. But it didn't change anything.
SPEAKER_01No. No, but anyway, he's uh I don't see them doing anything. Uh who else is in the West? Balls. Do you really matter? Well, the you know, last thing before we go was the Minnesota. Minnesota's still there. Like, I mean, they they're gonna be. Remember that everybody they went in last year, they were what whatever the was it three and six or four and five last year against the Lakers, and everybody counted them out, and they fucking just walked all over the Lakers.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, crazy. Yeah, yeah, people forget about that team. You're right. Uh, but you were talking about uh Giannis.
SPEAKER_01Oh yeah, Giannis, yeah.
SPEAKER_00So you said would you see some uh DMs or something?
SPEAKER_01Well, the the the NBA started investigating because Giannis came out and said I wanted to play and they're holding me out.
SPEAKER_00See, I thought, and I said this to you, I thought Giannis was hurt. I thought he couldn't play.
SPEAKER_01He is hurt. Okay. But he got injured, and then he said, But I'm better now and I'm ready to go, and they're they're holding me out even though I'm better to go. I'm ready to go. Right. So, you know, insinuating that there's more going on, again, tanking, trying to like improve their lottery uh odds, because Milwaukee sucks this year, and they're already in the they're they're gonna be at the bottom of the east, right? And uh, and then anyway, I just just saw right before we came on something that Milwaukee came out and said, Oh, he's refusing to participate in like scrimmages and stuff like that. So somebody's lying. Well, yeah, he's he's gone. Like that that relationship is done.
SPEAKER_00Funny how it just goes so south so fast, eh?
SPEAKER_01And they and they, you know, like I mean, him and he's like it's championship or bust, they get that in their mind that the organization needs to do the right thing. And uh, you know, they they tried, remember? They went out and they they they they picked up Dame thinking that was gonna be the answer.
SPEAKER_02Right.
SPEAKER_01Dame he's back in Portland, but he's in the city. Exactly.
SPEAKER_00He's in the he'll probably retire there and like Chris. Well, I think that's it.
SPEAKER_01He'll retire. He's you know, Dame's not coming back and yeah, he's he's retired.
SPEAKER_00Well, the joke is with Anta DeCumpa, he's gonna bring the whole tribe. So who the you know? You gotta when you trade for him, you're bringing the whole family. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you know, plus two or three cousins that are probably still back in Greece. Yeah, yeah. That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You've got to bring an extra RV. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01So so anyway, they're they're they're they're not going anywhere. I think they're good, they're hitting they're gonna have to hit the rebuild mode again.
SPEAKER_00God, it's amazing how bad Sacramento is, too.
SPEAKER_01No, Sacramento, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and then the thing about Sacramento is if you remember, it was only like three years ago. Feeding time, guys. It was only like three years ago where Sacramento was like in the playoffs. Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah, they went, they just fell off like so quick. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh, I know what else I want to say
LeBron’s Memphis Comment And Expansion
SPEAKER_00before we go. LeBron's getting shit about saying something about Memphis. And Milwaukee, yeah. Oh, it oh, what? Oh, okay, go ahead.
SPEAKER_01He was out golfing and they were, I don't know, they were talking to him. He's like he's I'm 41 years old. He said, Do you think I want to be, you know, on a Tuesday traveling to Memphis or Milwaukee for a game? And he even said he goes, Oh, yeah. And then they kind of came after him about it, and he goes, Listen, he goes, I'm just uh it is what it is. He goes, I I'm not I'm just saying, I don't want to be playing there. He goes, I don't even like going back to my hometown, like, you know, right now, right? Like middle of winter on a Wednesday, like you're going back to like minus snowstorms and minus 30 degrees, like, yeah. I get what he's saying. Well, Memphis isn't cold though. No, but Memphis is just, I mean, I've never been to Memphis, so I can't say anything about Memphis.
SPEAKER_00It's hot and sunny and country music.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I don't think he's I don't I mean, I was making that as an example for Cleveland. I'm just saying there's things about going to those places in the middle of nowhere and in the middle of the week for you know game 50 of the season. Like you're not gonna get up for it, right? Yeah, exactly. But anyway, it's uh yeah, he shot on Memphis and because I saw that uh the other night.
SPEAKER_00Well, they said what he goes, what somebody said I don't like black people. That's not true. I have a son.
SPEAKER_01Milwaukee played Memphis the other night, and uh Milwaukee won or whatever, I think, and he said, you know, the battle of the two favorite cities, you know, like we won the battle of the two favorite cities, the two most popular cities, or whatever it was. It's like you're taking little veiled shots back at LeBron, right?
SPEAKER_02Where do you go?
SPEAKER_01But I mean, yeah, it's uh we'll see, it'll be interesting to see because like they like we said, Vegas is what you know, and and and uh is it Seattle are both up for expansion, and it's not guaranteed. I think they said that could be one, there could be both, there could be none, right? So the the commissioner makes a decision, doesn't he? Uh or is it the owners? I think there's like a lot of different things. A lot of things going on. The owners all have to say yes. They gotta put up so they gotta have so much so much money, so much money to buy into the league. Yeah, and it's like something ridiculous now to buy into the league with billions of dollars, right?
SPEAKER_00So yeah, crazy. Yeah, oh well. Um, so uh our people, hey, it's pretty sunny out now. Uh for our people, we got uh Canada, US, Lithuania, Lithuania, Singapore and UK.
SPEAKER_01Singapore again, eh? Singapore's in there and the UK again, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Most of the ones in the US are from Texas. Somebody in Texas watching us likes our stuff. Yeah. So there you go. All right, everybody. Yeah,
Where To Watch And What’s Next
SPEAKER_00that's it for today. So uh you can watch us on uh my actual channel, Muscle and Fiction with Coach Bobby. You can watch us on Buzzprout, the uh Apple Podcasts, and the Spotify is where everybody seems to be catching us. Uh our last couple episodes really took off. We have like over a thousand views on those ones there. So probably because we're talking about the war on gas prices because everybody's pissed off, too. We get it, we're with you. Oh, and Tiger Woods flipping his car because he likes weed.
SPEAKER_01Oh, but yeah, he likes weed. He called Donald Trump. That was the latest thing. Do you see that?
SPEAKER_00No, what what he called him and goes, listen, what are you on?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, like right afterwards, called Donald Trump. Like must have been like, I'm in trouble again.
SPEAKER_00What? Really? Yeah, can you can you drop some bombs?
SPEAKER_01Like, I think, like, I think there's the deflection. I'd have to go see me. Hopefully it could be fake news, but I thought I remember seeing something on there that it said, like, I didn't know their buddies. He was talking to the cop after he said, Oh, sorry, I'm just just getting off the phone with the president. Oh, that can't be real. That can't be real, but that'd be funny if it was. How many people probably would be like, shit, I'm in trouble now. I better call. Who who can I call that's gonna get me out of this, right? Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Well, Dana White, Joe Rogan, or the president of the United States.
SPEAKER_01That's it, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh, okay. Well, that's another thing. Before we go, we have to talk about this briefly.
Rousey Vs Carano And UFC Pay
SPEAKER_00Sorry. Uh uh Rhonda Rousey is tearing tearing the UFC a new one.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Because see, UFC now has this Paramount deal, so they don't have any more pay-per-views. So on Paramount, if you if you uh have Paramount for a month with like 11 bucks or something, uh, you can get all the UFC fights.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, she's not slagging off Dana, she's saying Dana doesn't even make the decisions anymore.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, somebody else, like maybe Paramount's making the decisions. So it's a big problem now because now the fighters are worried about pay. Because before you get pay-per-view points, so more people buy the more money you make. Now it's like flat rates, so it's not good.
SPEAKER_01So who's her fight with uh Gina with through that?
SPEAKER_00It's called MVP Promotions. I believe it's the same one that uh one of the Paul brothers. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah, the idiots.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00But yeah, I mean, you know, it is what it is. They're millionaires beyond belief. They did well for themselves, but I can't stand either one of them. No, me either. Uh yeah, so they're they're paying a lot of money for those. I imagine it's giant ass money. Right? Plus, you got Francis Naganu who's on that card now, fighting somebody else. Don't ask me who it is, I have no idea. Okay. And there's uh another fight that's on there now, too. Another high, high uh profile fight. So basically, what I'm thinking is Netflix is just throwing a shit ton of money at these people, like, yeah, I'll sign up, bro. Because it's guaranteed money. Yeah. Right? You don't have to worry about pay-per-view if you don't get enough. Yeah, right. Right. Guaranteed money.
SPEAKER_01Now I'm assuming that guaranteed money, but now these guys aren't. It works out.
unknownGod.
SPEAKER_01It works out great when uh uh, you know, when you have really good viewership, it doesn't work out so great when you have low numbers, right? But like I wonder what's the what's the payout difference now?
SPEAKER_00Let's put it this way though. Like, if you and me go on Netflix, we're not making any money. These people are high profile people, you're not gonna put ding dongs on there, right? You're not gonna do that. So I I'm guessing they're they're making probably 10 million. No, okay. Right, which is a lot of money.
SPEAKER_01That's a lot of money, right?
SPEAKER_00You know, and it's it's guaranteed money.
SPEAKER_01By the way, Netflix does put ding dongs on there.
SPEAKER_00They do, you know. Yeah, but not not as much as us. So yeah, but uh for that, I just I find it interesting too that I'm also seeing like Gina Carrano, who's a beautiful drop date, gorgeous woman. Like, she not all her videos she's showing right now are her like getting ready for the fight. It's like her dancing and wearing outfits and pose and carrying a purse. And I'm like, okay, I hope you're taking this serious. But at the same time, she's probably like Rhonda can't punch me. I'm gonna beat the shit out of this woman. Yeah, and Rhonda's probably going, She can't hurt me. I'm gonna take her down, break her arm. So it's gonna be really interesting. It's a conflict of uh, you know, striker versus grappler, right?
SPEAKER_01But that's always the way it was, right? If she can get if Rhonda can get inside and take her down, get a hold of her and take her down.
SPEAKER_00But Gina's a big lady, man. Yeah, a lot bigger than Rhonda. Right, so we'll see what happens. But uh, everybody's gonna watch it. I don't have Netflix, but I'm probably gonna have to get it, I guess, to see that. Why not take a why not? Yeah, you know, see it. Everybody will watch, should be interesting. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01They'll yeah, they'll have they'll probably have big numbers, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh, dude, they're gonna have huge numbers.
SPEAKER_01Two big names, right? Huge numbers, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, well well, you know, the casual fans probably don't know either one of them. Because the you know, last 10 years neither one of them fought.
SPEAKER_01Well, they'll know them probably because both of them have showed up in movies and right TV shows.
SPEAKER_00Oh look, the Mandalorian lady's gonna fight in the UFC. She's gonna fight, she's gonna fight. She was one of the best Muay Thai fighters of all time in North America. Oh, well, that's weird.
SPEAKER_01Okay. Could you tell me though? When was this when's the last time she fought? 17 years ago. 17 years, yeah. It's a long time, man. Yep. Yeah, it is. You're sure you don't forget how to throw a punch or whatever, but it's still a long time to to go without actually. She's like anything else.
SPEAKER_00Was she still doing some stuff? Was she just weight training? Was she circuit training? Was she running? She's a movie star, right? So I don't know what they're doing, you know.
SPEAKER_01She looked, she was like pretty bucked in the in the Mandalorian series. Like yeah, she's a big woman. She's and she was in uh she was in Deadpool.
SPEAKER_00She was awesome, and huh? Yeah, she was awesome.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I actually liked her character in Deadpool.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I did too. I thought it was fantastic. Yeah, yeah. She's doing well. So she knocks out Rhonda Rousey. I love you. Yeah. Because I hate it. Yeah, you know, Rah, you know. I cannot stand that bitch. I can't stand her. Yeah. She likes she didn't have to be who she was. Like, there was no need. Oh, I'm dominating. You haven't fought anybody yet. There was nobody at the fight. As soon as you fought somebody, what happened? You get your ass handed to you.
SPEAKER_01She handled, she handled, yeah, taking those ass whoopings bad. Right?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, bad. Yeah, she got fucking flatlined two times.
SPEAKER_01But then her like, and then she how she reacted to the losing was bad.
SPEAKER_00Oh, she blamed her coach. Yeah, yeah. That's what I mean. It's like, get the f shut up, Brink.
SPEAKER_01Well instead of just coming out and being like, you know what, like this is eye-opening for me. Yeah, like Yeah, take it like that, right? I'm gonna learn from this. I need to learn from this my stand-up game is shit. Like, uh, you know, absolute garbage.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, right. So, well, who knows?
SPEAKER_01These people I still remember when Holly Holmes kicked her, was it kicked her in the head, was it?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, she had no idea what she was in the shadow realm, bro. Yeah. Well, people don't even realize Holly Holmes was a like a gold gloves boxer, like a professional boxer.
SPEAKER_01Did you see? I think it was recently that fight uh it was women, and she got her out and knocked out and then put her into a chokehold, and people but people were like, ah, like that was so bad what she did. But like that woman didn't know that she was out. She connected and then had her back and just put her into the chokehold.
SPEAKER_00I'm like, look, she's dead. Yeah. Her eyes were right over. Macy Barber was the name. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00That was scary, man, because she was out and she was out, and then she was well, choke her because she was already unconscious.
SPEAKER_01She just held her eyes like right over. And right away, I'm like, Yo. And then when the when the uh the ref came over, like she's like grabbing on his leg like as if she's still.
SPEAKER_00Happens all the time. Yeah, it happens all the time. So he's like, fights over, fights over, fights over.
SPEAKER_01You lost, you lost. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, that was a brutal one though. Like, because it was it looks it looked really scary. Because like oh, it did, but I knew what happened. The woman that put her in the chokehold didn't realize she didn't know she was already out. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was kind of crazy.
SPEAKER_00Uh it is what it is, man. That's fighting. Yeah, right. All right, it's like uh high-level chess with deathly consequences. That is, yeah. As Joe Rogan was so but uh yeah, what are you gonna do? So anyway, all right, everybody. Well, enjoy your uh long weekend. I'm sure a lot of people saw off today, government employees, especially. That was a long uh closing. It was, and that just happens every once in a while. It does have to go in a while. Oh yeah, fuck, we forget to talk about this. We're old. All right, so uh, you know, the usual. Stay bitchy, bitches. See you next week. Later.
